I had never met a Texan until I met erdoc85 during a project we collaborated on some years ago. Some of the work we did together spurred further research, the results of which have gone on to improve the quality of care provided by those on the front lines of Emergency Medicine. I am proud to say that recent research from the NIH is, well, a direct offshoot of our research. Please see the video below if you are curious.

Americans are fond of saying that everything is big in Texas though, being from the barren reaches of the Ukraine and remembering well the days of the CCCP I have never really understood this. erdoc85, however, educated me on the uniqueness of Texas to the American psyche, and on the proper use of the term "bullshit". erdoc85 is boarded in Emergency Medicine and currently practices in the United States in a hospital near you. Welcome old friend.

dear emergencyemm, no, i am not an aggie, though some of my best friends are.

my team plays in the SEC during but i have another team for basketball season in the ACC. best of both worlds. i also married in to liking a different SEC team so usually i have a good year between the three.

Could you please expound on the helping the sheep over the fence research? I'm a Jersey girl. Although we do have a lot of horses and cows around - just not many sheep...or maybe they are all on the other side of those research fences you speak of?
